How do you suggest they do this? By having a QB platoon?

Why not? The Frye/Dilfer platoon worked out well. When you have to pay the price for inexperience sooner or later, this is a way to minimize the disadvantage.

This isn't college, as long as Brunell is playing and playing well, he will be the unquestioned starter.

If Brunell was 28 with fresh legs, I'd agree.

Two years of holding a clipboard makes sense if you have a capable veteran ahead of him and the team is geared up for a Super Bowl run.
|
The implied assumptions in your comment are: 1) the capable vet will play at his peak level for an entire season, 2) the young QB will play at a significantly lower level even though his health and athletic ability exceeds the veteran's.

Coming out of college Campbell was considered a bit of a project who could benefit by sitting for a year or two. I just don't understand why some people feel the need to rush him along, like if he's not playing this year he's already a bust.
|
IMO working your franchise QB into the lineup gradually in year two isn't "rushing" him.

Let's also remember that Gibbs is an old school coach who isn't afraid to let his QBs sit and learn.

I agree with the others who said that if JoeGibbs has the final say on this, it will be Brunell. However, I have a hard time believing that an OC with Al Saunders resume' would take a job where he didn't have the final say on who he plays.
